Maxi Dresses

During the hot months I live in maxi dresses! 

I have a favorite boutique that I get mine from in Warm Springs, GA called 

the Dressing Room.

Most of these dresses range from $9.99-$24.99.

Can't beat those prices, huh?

I've been stocking up on maxi dresses so I can have plenty for Hawaii.

By the time October rolls around, there won't be any more in the stores so I'm trying to get as many as possible. The hard part is trying not to wear them now, so that I don't get tired of them by October.

These are all "one size fits most".

My mom is a tiny size 8 and I typically wear a XL or 1X and they all fit both of us!

Here's 5 dresses I recently picked up:

 This one was $15.99

$15.99

$24.99

$9.99

$9.99

Magic Mike Review

I left work early Friday just to go see Magic Mike.

The theater was PACKED full of women.

Not.a.single.man! lol!

Other than Channing Tatum & Matthew McCnaughey...

the movie SUCKED.

 The acting was so bad, I actually took TWO light naps.

The story line was so corny and obvious.

The lead female actress (I don't even know her name) was horrid!

I don't know who the hell picked her or why they did, but watching her act was torture.

Maybe if they had picked a more known & experienced actress, I would have felt the connection between Channing & the chick and it wouldn't have been so bad.

In summary:

Channing can dance his ass off!

I would have liked to see him in person, Ha!

And Matthew was lookin amazin of course.

And I could have done without everyone else in the movie.

I definitely feel there wasn't enough dancing and not enough Magic Mike.

So 5 stars to Channing & Matthew.

And -10 stars for the rest of the movie.

Paid in Full!

We made our last payment on the hubby's truck this week! I can't tell you how relieved I am to be done with that car payment. Now we have 4 more years to go on mine, booooo!

We also finally paid off our cruise to Hawaii!

 I am so excited!

We booked a luau already too for our visit to Kauai.

We decided on the Smith's Family Garden Luau. 

I read some good reviews so I hope it's as good as

 everyone says it is. 

 I'm trying to find things for us to do on each island, but everything is so expensive in Hawaii.

I expected it to be high, but good lawd, it's reeeally high.

 We've looked at helicopter rides, tubing, horse back riding, massages, golf, volcano tours, etc.

There is so much we want to do, especially since Hawaii is not an everyday or even an every year vacation. It may be the only time we go so we're prepared to spend some serious dough so we can get it all in. We may have to forgo food for a few months! I kid, I kid! (No seriously, we may have to!) lol!

Anywho, I promise to get better at taking more personal pics and sharing things. 

I used to be so good at this, but I swear once you do it for a living, you learn how to put the camera down. Which is terrible because I've missed a lot of good memories.

Oh and I am aware that my blog is super jacked up. 

I tried to change the template and it's all screwy. 

You may see various changes in the next few days.

Ciao!

Wordless Wednesday

Weekend Recap

I just hate when the weekend ends. Can't we just have Friday-Sunday on repeat?

Friday night hubby & I typically go to this local BBQ place. Friday night they have a turkey & dressing special that we love. I think we're the youngest people that go because all the other patrons are 50+! But we don't care, the food is good & who says you can only eat turkey & dressing on Thanksgiving?

However this Friday we decided to meet up with another couple for dinner & drinks at TGIF. Do yall have any friends who are ALWAYS late. OMG its SO annoying. We were all supposed to meet up at 9, we knew they'd be late so we got there at about 9:15.  We got the table, ordered drinks & an appetizer.  At about 9:45, they STILL weren't there! So we told the waiter we'd give them til 10 and then we'd order. At about 9:55 our friend Solomon came in & said Lisa was still in the car priming. At about 10:10 she still hadn't made it in! Apparently her shoes were in the trunk & he had the keys. LOL! We finally got to order at about 10:15. I told them next time we go out with them, we'll show up AFTER they have the table.

Saturday I pretty much lounged during the day. Our friend David came down from Atlanta to give some of us a presentation about this company called ACN. They basically have a partnership with various cable, cell phone, & home security providers. If you switch (say from direct tv to dish tv) via ACN, you can save money. The other side of it is, if you want to work for ACN, and switch people's services over, you can earn a commission of up to 10% per month. ACN was actually featured on the Apprentice, endorsed by Donald Trump, & is on the cover of Success magazine this month! It was interesting and one of our friend's signed up to work for ACN.

After that meeting we had game night. Playing Scattergories can get heated with our friends. We didn't realize how fun it was. Everyone was seriously fighting & defending their answers, ha!

Sunday the hubby & I took a road trip to Warm Springs, GA. There is a little boutique there sells the best max dresses all for under $25.  Then we headed back & had lunch at Cheddar's. And finally went to my mom's for a bit. And of course Sunday night we always tune in True Blood! I love that show! Do any of watch it?

QVC

 Am I the only person under 35 who loves QVC?

I swear I can watch that channel all day.

My last two orders consisted of luggage for my trip to Hawaii & a mattress topper with 2 pillows.

I ordered this 3-piece set in purple leopard!

I wanted to make sure I could spot my luggage quickly.

I think this will do the trick!

All this for only 4 easy payments of $56.35, Ha!

And this mattress topper with 2 pillows is only 3 easy payments of 30!

It just looked so comfy & the hubby was sold on it, so it should be here in a few days!

Have yall ever ordered from QVC?

Every now & then I find some great deals.

But I feel like an old lady with all this tv shopping that I do!

Happy Friday!

Jailbirds

Does your city have a newspaper that features people who've been arrested?

We have two papers, one called "The Joint" & a new one called "The Jailbird."

These paper will feature recently arrested people for things like theft, drugs, child molesters...but now they feature people who run stop signs or didn't wear their seat belt. I'd be pretty pissed if I was in one of these papers for forgetting my seat belt. Especially if they put me next to a damn child molester!

But I digress...

I know people don't always look their best for their mugshots, but some of these people are ridiculous. It's like looking at peopleofwalmart.com. If you haven't been to that site, I suggest you leave my blog now & be prepared to laugh your ass off.

"The Jailbird" is our newest mugshot paper.

It features a hottie & hunks page.

Isn't that crazy?

"Does it really matter what we did?"

 There's also a crazy captions page.

The editors make up captions for the mugshots.

And this one...I just thought it was hilarious because of the lady's hair! lol!

Do yall have a paper like this?
